And the rest of this statement is where?

Yes, I agree, there _may_ be a reference to arch_unregister_cpu() if
the compiler doesn't optimise the "if(0) return".

As things stand in my "head" tree (which I'll be posting once 6.7-rc1
is out) at the point that this patch exists in the series, there are
no architectures which provide arch_unregister_cpu(), and the only
implementation of it is the __weak one in drivers/base/cpu.c

That implementation is also ifdef'd with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and also
CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES.

Meanwhile, acpi_processor.c is always built with ACPI, and while we
have IS_ENABLED() clauses with James' patches for both of these
symbols, if the compiler doesn't optimise the code away, we will end
up with a reference and a link-time error. That being said, the 0-day
bot has not reported anything as yet (and it builds my tree.)

So, is this a problem that needs to be solved or not?
